ketchenany Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 There was a story on Global a few weeks back and the majority of farms have stopped doing the self-serve They opend a locked box and found a few dimes!! I guess there was someone else there so they put some change in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanD Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Down around Turkey Point (Simcoe/Delhi area) there are still quite a few self-serve vegetable stands. Usually fresh, good quality stuff and inexpensive. We'll normally round up our purchase to the next folding denomination. Like if it was 13 bucks, we'd throw in 15. Dan.

misfish Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Theres a few around here as well. One stand is for pumkins. It does make one think, there is still good out there and trust. Theres even a guy that has a small stand in the fall with bags of golf balls. Ya it,s only his time to walk and find stray off the course balls, but atleast he trust those that are honest.

porkpie Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Mainly self serve around here. If your far enough from a city your probably still able to do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Many out here in Haldimand Norfolk. Gary on the Town Line has a fridge full of farm fresh eggs, 3 bucks a dozen or $4.00 for 18. And some are so big the carton won't close. Some still have some feathers on the shells. Eat one of these and you will never buy those 3 week old eggs from the grocery stores again. Fresh vegs the closer you get to Simcoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always grab corn from the little wagon across from the school in Ida on our way past to the cottage on friday nights. Fair price and the corn is always good. And we always round up our money in their favour. It will be a sad day if we ever drive by and the little wagon is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBW Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 I love it when the farmers are selling fresh food out front the Macs on Angeline in Lindsay. I can get 6 corn for $4 (good deal or not I don't care) and if that is all I'm getting that day I always hand the person the $5 and say "it's fine, you deserve to get paid for great food and service" cause I will not take the $1 change when they try and force the $1 back on me. They worked WAY harder than I did for that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause it would be one heck of a thankful memory for them in return! A powwow drum is more in order. To them its the devils music Which is hilarious because they started coming to our annual fish fry at the powwow grounds So there ya have it, walleye trumps religion??? Im not joking. They are literally scared of the drums Edited October 26, 2016 by manitoubass2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
